That's what timely great goaltending does - wins you games that you otherwise shouldn't, and thus separates you from the pack.
Thank you, Mike Smith. The boys will get better in front of you, guaranteed.

One of the reasons for the high shot count is that the Flames have played 3/4 of their games on the road, and shots for home teams appear especially high all around the League. Last night the Leafs fired 50 SOG; the Canadiens 41 against Chicago the night before; in their only home game Calgary outshot Winnipeg 45-29. Yeah, it’s presently an issue, but I’m not terribly worried about it.
